Sakura Pigma Micron 01 Black Pen - 0.25mm Fine Tip - Pack of 4 (01) Review

If you are an artist like me you need these pens. The reason is that you can get nice clean parts.

These pens are beautifully black and produce a smooth line. And they are relatively strong and durable for a fine pen.

Bought for model kit detailing, worked fine at first but over time the tip became clogged and no longer worked for what I wanted. Works well on paper for crisp, easy-to-read markings.

I was looking forward to these pens because I heard good things about them. When I opened and tried them, one didn't work, the other three worked fine. It was disappointing.

For many artists and journalists, Pigma Micron pens are the most reliable choice. These pens have an extremely fine .005 point and are *very* fragile. You have been warned to proceed with caution.

Glad I found a way to buy multiple copies - stores usually have kits with different ink sizes and/or colors. This is a great price in multiples of the size I want. What can you say about Micron Sakura? The nibs hold up to pretty heavy use, the ink is consistent, doesn't bleed or smudge, and dries almost instantly - I'm left-handed so that's important. And the ink is waterproof - I use watercolors and pencils as well as alcohol markers and colored pencils (they erase well too). These are great…
